AbraSilver DFS Outlines C$4.2 Billion NPV for Diablillos Project
AbraSilver Resource (ABRA.V)'s definitive feasibility study on the Diablillos silver-gold project in Argentina outlined a posttax net present value of C$4.2 billion at base-case metal prices.The study also outlined a 41.9% internal rate of return and a 1.7-year payback period for the proposed mine with an estimated average annual production of 20 million ounces of silver equivalent, the silver-gold developer said Tuesday.Initial capital expenditures were projected at US$722 million, and the company targets first production before year-end 2029, subject to a final investment decision scheduled in the second quarter of 2027."Importantly, these DFS results represent our phase 1 base case - not our ceiling," CEO John Miniotis said. "A heap leach addition, plant capacity growth and ongoing exploration across our land package give us multiple levers to build on these results."
